Lets's calculate LCM of 372,1966
2 | 372, 1966 |
186, 983 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 186 x 983 = 365676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/365676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/372,4959/1966 is 1/365676
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 372,1966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,1966) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,1966) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(372,1966) = ( 372 × 1966 ) / 2
LCM(372,1966) = 731352 / 2
LCM(372,1966) = 365676
